Not with a Bang Start and Ongoing
"Good Morning passengers. Today is day seven of the month of Imagination." The voice echoes through the train as passengers wake up in their beds. Not long afterwards their SCA’s glow with the colour of the void and a holographic image will appear.
Preperation
They have about an hour to prepare, a little less than usual but perhaps expected, given the urgency of the task.
The cupboards in the dressing room are open to reveal rows of tents, in all four team colours as well as some basic camp cooking equipment. They are in bags that should be easy enough to carry.
"Shortly arriving on System #6416. All passengers get ready to disembark. Next stop world 6416. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." The train rocks and lurches, bright colours of the void filling the space and then fading as they fly downwards towards a very green landscape.
Arrival and Initial Task
The train lands in a clearing, curving round in an attempt to fit. Once everyone who wishes to disembark has done it flies back into the air, vanishing from sight.
The air is heavy and humid, though it is not currently raining. The clearing is open to the sky and looking up will reveal a worrying sight. The sky is an angry red colour, colours shifting as if the clouds themselves were on fire. It's an unnerving sight.
Their SCA's show three points, one Orange, One purple and one that is half blue and half red. The three control centres. Each are a few hours treck through the jungle and it certainly feels like there is no time to waste.
Those that don't want to treck through the forest can start setting up camp, though the darkening sky might be a little distracting. As time goes on flecks of fire drift down, though they extinguish before hitting the forest floor.
Orange are to travel to the north, Purple to the south and Blue and Red must travel together to the west. Each route takes them through thick and unrelenting jungle. Flying is difficult here unless you can get up past the canopy layer, which means vision of the ground is severely hampered.
The control stations themselves are half buried in vines and require cutting into. If voidtreckers are unlucky they will meet their first security robots here, firing on the intruders. They might even meet their first giant Armadillos, the creatures are curious and may wish to investigate. They are not helpful or constructive to trying to power up the stations and prevent the destruction of the planet.
The control stations are simple enough to operate, but there's quite a lot that needs to be done in way of repairs and clearing. It will take a team effort to get it in working enough order to activate the shield.
The shield itself, when it is activated, is mostly invisible but there is a loud humming sound. The meteor, which has gotten more visible throughout the five hours, hits the shield and splinters, fire enveloping the whole sky. It is visibly terrifying, but no fire falls to earth, no rocks get through, the planet is safe.
Ongoing
Once the planet is safe the voidtreckers deserve a rest. But once the next morning dawns it is time to start with their next tasks, to make sure that this planet stays safe from future threats.
Red
The robots at the control stations are not the only malfunctioning security robots around. They roam the jungle, or are more often stranded in the jungle, powering up only when faced with a new threat.
Some are benign, terraforming machines whose only crime is using up precious power. These need to be dismantled so that power can be saved for the shield system. Others are security robots that will attack the intruders to the planet.
Though the machines are scattered they are often obvious, emitting warning alarms or flashing lights. Their SCA's will show some areas where there are larger clusters but machines can be found anywhere.
Purple
Their SCA's are filled with hundreds of purple dots, each a solar stations that needs cleared and brought back online. It's not the most glamourous job, the stations are deep in the jungle, the treck is difficult and most of the work needed is weed clearing.
But once the weeds have been cut away they will need to patch up the station, doing basic maintenance to get it back online. In some cases wires need to be patched back together but it shouldn't take any great feats of engineering to get the stations up and running.
They may run into some of the security automatons, needing to fight their way into the stations before they can begin the clean up operations.
Orange
Like the red team their SCA will show areas where there are clusters of the small insectoid automatons that need to be rescued and restored. However they can be found anywhere throughout the jungle, they are not too suited for the terrain outside of the stations and so they have gotten tangled in vines. They can be found powered down, stranded and in dire need of maintenance.
Tools and spare parts can be found in many of the solar stations that purple team have been locating. Actually repairing the robots takes some engineering knowledge but once they are restored they will go about their tasks in the stations. They will need help getting to the further flung stations as well as the main control centres.
They are very basic in design and follow pre programmed instructions rather than being able to hear and listen to orders. But once in the correct place they are very effective at their job.
Blue
Once the shield is up there is a faint humming that can be heard throughout the jungle if they listen closely and find it among the sound of rain and insects. But once they hear it, it is obvious where it is louder and more prominent.
Their SCA will pin point some of the larger control boxes but there are truthfully too many to show on a map. Not all of them have attracted Violet Pandas, but many of them have.
They are curious creatures, both of the power boxes and the voidtreckers. They are protective of each other but not so much of territory and therefore it is not difficult to move them on. Keeping them away is another matter, the power humming is interesting and they will unearth wires and chew through them. It doesn't seem to do them much harm, there is clearly safety stops in the system for such eventualities. It does however cut power off to entire solar stations and require a lot of patch work.
Good luck voidtreckers!

Okay Inigo, we can go. Just for an hour though. [He raises his wrist, to set a timer on the SCA.] Then please will you rest. If I help you cut the plants that will be double the amount of work done.
wow, taiki can't tell his best friends apart anymore.... the tinigo fusion starts
Okay. [ Look at this obedient puppy agreement. He's so wound around Taiki's finger. ] Come on, it's right up ahead.. Work isn't so bad anyway when we're spending the time together, right?
rise of the Taidigo
[He doesn't mind this work, he's just aware that Inigo would work without stopping if he let him and he's not going to let him.
He presses the start button on the timer, he's used the timer before and knows it will beep when the time is up.]
What needs done first? [He's yours to command Inigo, your very own helper unicorn for one hour.]
no subject
We need to get the plants out of the way. [ The station is pretty close. In fact, as they're walking and talking, it's already visible - and quite overgrown by the plants, much like the other ones around. ]
Do you mind if I use my sword for it? It's quicker that way. [ And Inigo is never quite sure what kind of stuff exactly makes Taiki uneasy and what doesn't.. But even though Inigo desperately wants to work, he'd never compromise Taiki's comfort for it. ] But I can just do it with my hands too.
no subject
Also it is quicker, they will get more done and that will make Inigo feel better. So it is a win all around.] Please use whichever tools you need.
[He smiles.]
no subject
But.. then again, Taiki is his friend. Such an important friend. Isn't it important then too to trust him when he says it's okay?
So Inigo slowly nods. ]
Okay.
[ No longer having to pull his sword out of its sheath, it instead just materializes into his hands from his Arms Band. He swings it in front of him once they reach the station after a few steps, immediately cutting away a row of the greenery that had started to grow right over the entrance. ]
You can pull it away when it's been loosened, right?
[ That way they can work together! Inigo wouldn't want Taiki to feel he's out here for no good reason at all. ]
no subject
And Taiki will do his best to help, so he pulls the cut vines away, freeing the machinery from the tangling vines. He wants to be as helpful to Inigo as possible, to keep up his side of the agreement.
Also just to help, as important as he feels it is that Inigo rests, Inigo is still right, there is a lot of work to still be done here.]
no subject
It's easier to keep working like this, not thinking of his exhaustion, shoving it under the rug. He's used to it.
It's why he's working in silence for a while until he speaks up again: ]
How have you been doing so far this mission? [ Despite them being closer to each other than usually, he hasn't exactly seen what Taiki has been up to, only seeing him at base camp. ]
no subject
I've been doing alright. [A smile.] I was with red at first but I've been helping blue a lot, trying to move the pandas and armadillos. How about you?
no subject
I've been pretty much just doing this the whole time. It's slightly boring [ especially after having cleared out as many stations as he has ] but the work's got to get done anyway, right?
no subject
[It's not exactly an arguable point, considering they are here late at night, still working.]
no subject
I have!
[ No matter how down he can get on himself about other things, it is really hard to deny the fact that he's been working his butt off on these stations. It's too much of an objective fact for even him to deny. He's still working right now, even as he's speaking, after all. ]
I'd just feel guilty if I wasn't pulling my weight, especially since it seems like the purple team got a pretty big work load this time. [ Especially with not all purple members helping out their own team. ] I want to get it done to make sure nothing happens to this planet. Even though it seems like there's no people here, it'd still be unfair towards all those animals if their home was just wiped out.
no subject
But they had stopped it and they would keep working to make sure everything was secure.]
Purple has got a big job... I can come with you tomorrow as well...um... if you need more hands...
no subject
[ At least Inigo doesn't seem totally baffled by the offer. He knows by now how badly Taiki wants to help out in any given situation. And there's no denying that he would love to have his friend's company even when Taiki isn't doing it try and get him to concede and rest, but at the same time he can't help but feel a bit worried. ]
Don't get me wrong, I'd keep you absolutely safe if you'd come with me, but.. do you think it won't be too hard on you? [ Being out here, potentially being involved in fights if they run into a robot, if not just by being in the vicinity. Taiki is a sensitive soul, and Inigo wouldn't want to ruin that. ]
no subject
Whichever would help you more. Maybe I could do some other tasks... that would make your job easier.
no subject
He knows he doesn't have much time, that he should keep going, but-- what kind of horrible friend would he be if he'd put the mission over his friend's happiness?
The sword momentarily disappears from his hand, disappearing back into his Arms Band, but it's just so he can grab both of Taiki's hands and put his own around them, covering them like that. Trying to drag the other's attention, get him to look at him. ]
Nothing is ever too difficult when it comes to you, okay? You being around me always helps, no matter the situation. There's nothing difficult about keeping you safe-- I'd do that as easily as breathing.
[ He smiles, with an odd awkward twitch to it that makes his gaze fall just a moment. It's always difficult to balance his own clinginess with a desire to not be too selfish about it, but..
Inigo looks back at him. ]
Please stay with me, if you really want to. I would really appreciate it. And not just for what you could do, but also just.. for being you. Just your presence would be enough to give me strength. Never forget that.
no subject
His words made him blush slightly, look down. He will never get used to having friends, people who wanted him around, people who believed he helped the situation, rather than making it difficult.
People who wanted him close just because, and not because of what he could do to help them.
It's not something he knows how to respond to, so he just nods, squeezing Inigo's hand.]
I will then. I'll go with purple team tomorrow.
no subject
[ He holds Taiki's hands for another moment before finally letting of them, realising just how little precious time he has left of the time limit Taiki set. Got to get in some last work real quick now he's made sure to reassure his friend's heart!! ]
I can't imagine a better way to spend a day here than with a precious friend!
no subject
He continued working silently, as hard as he could to make up for the time he accidentally made Inigo lose.]
